I haven't been around here lately, because I gained so much weight in the last few weeks (6lbs apparently...) that I got pushed out of the 140s and back into the 150s. It wasn't actual weight, it couldn't have been as I am training for a 1/2 marathon and am running 4 x a week, burning at least 800 calories a time (normally over 1,000). I also cycle for at least 40mins a day (to and from work) and do Pilates at least 1 x a week. I kept my calories roughly at 1,400-1,600.
I was a bit baffled by the weight (water) gain but I came off the pill a month ago and I think my period is due, so that will explain it. Anyway, it is on its way back down and I've gone from 155 ---> 151 this week. Still haven't got my period though! I've thrown calorie counting out of the window (I can't be bothered to type it all in) and am just doing South Beach principles and eating when I'm hungry + a lot of exercise. I'm also weighing myself every morning for a few months and keeping an excel doc of it so I can learn to predict when the monthly bloat will arrive!
I'm still bouncing in and out of the 140's! 139 yesterday, 140.2 today. I don't count myself in the 130's properly until a weigh in, which is saturday. Hopefully this Saturday I can officially leave this thread!
I love this thread! I only have about 5-7 lbs left to lose, I am 140 right now and would love to be inbetween 130-135. One week Ill be 138, next 140, one week 136, next 141. My body reacts to sodium, and carbs like crazy. I swear, the day I weighed 136 that weekend I ate some cajun food with rice and the following weigh in I was 141! So I know I can get to it, but does that mean I can never have a bowl of rice? Frustrating!
Once I reach my goal and stay there for a month, I will be the happiest girl ever!
Well ladies i broke thru my plateau FINALLY! SO happy! I really need to try to be here everyday to keep me accountable. Hope everyone is having a good week!
I think I'm officially in the 130's, I have been for a few days now...although 139.6 this morning so who knows! Tomorrow is my "official" weigh in, though...we'll see!
im still chilling at about 142, super frustrating but im getting back into working out and eating right and, dare i say it, im cutting most of the caffeine out of my life.
hopefully ill see that 130's number soon. cant believe ive been in the 140's for so long!
i went to the gym for a little over and hour this morning and it felt great to work out again. now i have a busy day ahead of me, im tired, and the temptation for soda is overwhelming!
I HATE the 140s! From January to the end of February I went from about 160 to 150. From the end of February until now I have been hovering around 148-150. Soon I will have spent 2 months in this 2-pound range. My plan was to be around 142 at the beginning of April. I am ready for my whoosh!
141.6.. three weigh-ins in a row! So, bizarre that the 10th pound hasn't budge (up or down). I was at 138 a few weeks ago and a good few days of binging shot me back up to 145 and I'm working on getting that... again!
Put on my running shoes, 8th morning in a row!
Every step I make out there I know it's one step closer to my goal.
I just joined and I'd sure like to be out of the 140s! I had been hanging out in the upper 130s but then a new town with lots of restaurants and a new boyfriend who likes to go out to eat and have drinks have bumped me back up into the 140s! I'm back to calorie counting and trying to get all the sugar and carb cravings under control.
Hi all. I officially hit the 140s today at 149. I suspect I'll be here until at least July, lol. Maybe forever. I don't think I've been in the 130s since high school. But, here's hoping!!

Congrats! Welcome! Stay a while but not forever, lol!

Thank you! I had a cooking class last night and ate what I made. I am scared to death to check the scale in case I've left the 140s. I'll know for sure on Friday, my official weigh in day. I just need two really on track days!!! If Friday goes well I suspect I'll at least have earned my way here for a while.
